Cotswold Friends would like to say a huge thankyou to Kelly and her team from the Moreton branch of TSB, for organising such a fantastic bingo night fundraiser. The event was held at Redesdale Hall on Saturday 22nd April and was a roaring success with all 70 seats taken and a queue at the door!

A big thankyou to our volunteer bingo caller Brian Herbert, whose cheerful banter kept everyone in order and guessing at the next number to come. With every “Eyes Down” there was suspense in the air waiting for the call of “Bingo!” to break the silence. Many amazing prizes were donated including beautifully presented hampers, tickets to local attractions and vouchers from local businesses.

Tea, coffee and yummy cakes were served in the interval and a wonderful raffle offered yet more lovely prizes. All in all, it was a fun night with many happy people leaving with goodies under their arm!

With a final total raised on the night of £702.39, TSB has again helped Cotswold Friends to continue providing friendship, support and transport for our older and vulnerable people in the north Cotswold community.
